Oscars 2013: Jessica Chastain skips father's memorial for the red carpet

Jessica Chastain attended the 2013 Oscars. The actress skipped her father's Memorial to attend the awards show. Fans were stunned when Jessica appeared on the red carpet. Just Jared published the photos of the "Zero Dark Thirty" star on Feb. 24.

Jessica didn't attend her father's memorial because she wasn't close to him. Her father, Michael Monasterio, was not listed on her birth certificate. There also weren't any photos of them together when she was growing up.

Chastain attended the event with her boyfriend Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo. Her agent Hylda was also in attendance.

Jessica wore a custom made Armani Prive strapless gown in a nude color. It had sparkle detail on the bodice.

She paired her dress with Christian Louboutin shoes and Harry Winston jewelry. The actress styled her red hair in soft, glamorous waves.

Chastain said that she fell in love with her dress when she saw it. It reminded her of cinema and old Hollywood, which is why she wore it.

Jessica Chastain is up for the "Best Actress" award. The Oscars 2013 awards show airs 8:30 p.m. on ABC. Check your local listings for details.
